Responsibilities

Set the vision and quality bar for Rippling’s IT management platform, making it powerful enough for IT leaders and intuitive enough for every employee
Unify fragmented workflows—identity, access, device management, inventory, security, and compliance—into one coherent product with consistent patterns, policies, and reporting
Rethink IT workflows for an AI-first world, designing where the system should explain, recommend, automate, or ask for human judgment
Make the fundamentals effortless, so everyday tasks like provisioning access, shipping devices, enforcing MFA, managing role changes, and offboarding employees feel automatic rather than administrative
Raise the craft bar, shaping experiences that communicate security, control, and observability through every interaction and detail
Mentor and grow a world-class design team, running strong critiques, sharpening judgment, and helping designers do the best work of their careers
Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, and customers to turn complex needs into clear priorities, fast decisions, and measurable business impact

A strong personal practice using AI tooling to accelerate design thinking, clarify requirements, explore product directions, and improve the quality of your work
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build alignment and influence stakeholders from individual contributors to executives
Deep collaboration experience with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional partners to drive both strategy and execution
Proven success hiring, leading, and scaling design teams at both startups and established companies
